Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video


Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!  

~~~

The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes.  I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.  

This one is actually a fun fold card.  It sure doesn't look like it though!

I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view: 

See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here?  There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers.  It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.

I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper.  It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate.  I kept mine quite simple. 

I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere.  See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here. 

You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

  • Time of Giving for your Holiday projects with video tutorial.


    On last Tuesday's FB Live I focused on the Time of Giving bundle in the current 2021 Holiday Catalog.  This bundle is for many occasions and more fun and versatile than I thought! 

    I'll start with the autumn card featuring the baby wipe technique.

    Isn't it pretty?!  My colors are Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive. Those are the ink refills I used on my baby wipe. If you haven't done the baby wipe technique please watch the video below or click here.  It's so simple and all you need is a folded baby wipe and a few colors of ink refills.  

    The little die-cut leaves on the greeting are also in this bundle.  The Gold Fine Art ribbon is from the annual catalog as well as the white die-cut for the greeting.  It's in the Stitched So Sweetly set.


      All of these images & dies are from this Tidings of Giving bundle seen here. 

    Next is a beautiful snowflake card that's mostly white but the pop of colors shows off this pretty die wonderfully!  It creates a 'window' effect.  I die-cut three dies in a row on my White CS and for the soft colors under it I used my blending brushes with Just Jade & Bermuda Bay ink.

    For this next card I chose the Santa & sleigh die.  As you can see I left a wide border on this one so I could stamp the greeting directly on it.  This pretty background paper is from the Beauty of the Earth DSP in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog seen here. 

    And here is a card using the ornament die.  Again I cut three in a row, lowering the die each time.  Another bit of the Beauty of the Earth designer paper on the side and a greeting added with the Double Oval Punch.  Glittered white ribbon finishes it off. 

    And below is the video where you can see how I achieved these techniques.  I hope you watch!  *Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here too!

  • Last of the Autumn Themed swaps; such neat ideas!


    Tracey made this first card with the Nature's Harvest bundle & Harvest Meadow designer series paper.  I love the way her thin strips of DSP create this stunning background.  

    Then she softened it with a piece of vellum that she textured with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. 

    Her greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set – it was a bonus free offer in our Sale-a-Bration catalog during August & September.  Underneath the torn greeting strip is some Diamond Weave trim, dyed to match. 

    Next is a beautiful card made by Paula.  She featured the Season's Blessings bundle in the Annual Catalog seen here. 

    Her colors include Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede & Cinnamon Cider. 

    Details:

    • Stitched Greenery die on the background
    • Tailor Made tags for the Cajun Craze die-cut
    • Cork paper for her basket die-cut!!!
    • Beauty of the Earth DSP
